Allkirk Network Where Presbyterian faith meets postmodern culture.
Dr. Douglas Green, Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
On his blog The Ecclesial Calvinist, Dr. Bill Evans of Erskine College has just posted a statement issued by the session of New Life Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Glenside, Pennsylvania, unanimously affirming the confessional orthodoxy of one of its Ruling Elders, Dr. Doug Green (the statement is also available on New Life's website). Dr. Green—under whom I briefly had the privilege of studying—has recently come under fire at Westminster Theological Seminary, where he teaches Old Testament. The seminary's board of trustees came to the decision that Dr. Green's views regarding the Old Testament do not fall within the bounds of the Westminster Standards, and therefore Dr. Green is being forced into retirement.
For readers unfamiliar with this intramural Reformed controversy, the issue revolves around how one sees Christ in the Old Testament (to put it somewhat simplistically). At one end of the spectrum are those who advocate a "christotelic" interpretation of Scripture. On this view, Christ is the goal toward which the biblical narrative is heading, but his presence in the OT is often only seen in retrospect by NT authors (he is the "surprise ending," as it were). In other words, the OT authors often speak about Christ, but they often do not realize that they are speaking about Christ. For example, Matthew 2:15 quotes Hosea 11:1 ("Out of Egypt I called my son") in fulfillment of messianic expectation. But in the original context, Hosea is talking about Israel, not Jesus. This much is agreed upon, and the apparent discrepancy is generally resolved by appealing to the standard hermeneutical tool of typology (i.e., pattern-and-fulfillment). Israel sets the pattern (type), which finds its climactic fulfillment in Christ (anti-type). The question then becomes, did Hosea know he was doing typology? Did he know that there would one day be a True Israelite who, likewise being called out of Egypt, would succeed where corporate Israel failed? On a christotelic reading, such an inference is unnecessary. What matters is that the NT authors were able to trace such a connection.
There doesn't seem to be a single agreed-upon term for opponents of the christotelic view, but a good candidate would probably be "christomorphic" ("christocentric" is another candidate, but seems to me a little too ambiguous) This term, which is used by Dr. Lane Tipton, professor of Systematic Theology at WTS, refers to the objective presence of Christ in the OT text. Stated more strongly, the OT authors must have had some awareness of a messianic referent to their words, however embryonic such an awareness might have been. In the words of Dr. G.K. Beale (professor of New Testament at WTS), a messianic fulfillment must have been a part of the human OT author's "cognitive peripheral vision." According to the christomorphic side, the main problem with a christotelic reading of the OT is that it amounts to an essentially Jewish reading, and runs contrary to how the NT authors themselves viewed the OT. The christotelic side would in turn fault the christomorphic side with excessively psychologizing the OT authors, in what amounts to a version of "Reformed midrash" (referring to an early Jewish interpretive practice that relied heavily upon speculative commentary of the text).

So what's the heat behind the argument? Is it this: the morphic folks are accusing the telic camp of turning the NT authors into liars when it comes to how they used the OT text; while the telic camp is accusing the morphic folks of bending the Word of God and therefore not really listening to the Scriptures?
You got it. The morphic guys often see this as a matter of inerrancy. But to be fair, probably the best known defender of christotelism is Peter Enns, who does deny inerrancy (Doug, however, is a christotelic inerrantist). In turn, the telic guys say that christomorphists are guilty of eisegesis, making the systematic tail wag the exegetical dog.

Q: Sequelize belongsToMany with second belongsToMany table - set at once I have the following tables
const Employee = db.define('employee', {
  ...
})

const CapabilityType = db.define('capabilityType', {
  ...
})

const Capability = db.define('capability', {
  id: {type: Sequelize.INTEGER, autoIncrement: true, primaryKey: true, unique: true},
  since: {type: Sequelize.DATEONLY, allowNull: true},
  comment: {type: Sequelize.STRING, allowNull: true}
})

const UploadFile = db.define('file', {
  ...
})

Employee.belongsToMany(CapabilityType, {through: Capability})
Capability.belongsToMany(UploadFile, {through: 'capabilityFiles'})

So it means an employee can have many capabilityTypes. This is done through the capability table. But one capability can have multiple files associated to. So it has another belongstomany through the extra 'capabilityFiles' table added.
I reached adding capabilities with additional data like this:
const caps = capabilities.map(c => {
  const ct = CapabilityType.build({id: c.capabilityTypeId}, {isNewRecord: false})
  ct.capability = {since: c.since, comment: c.comment}
  return ct
})
Employee.build({id: employeeId}, {isNewRecord: false}).setCapabilityTypes(caps)

I also tried adding files: c.files to the capability object, but that did not solve the problem.
Can somebody help me?

Q: How to get the Jtable or get jTable model of the current tab? Is there anyway i can get  Jtable from the tabbed panel selected.
I creat tables dynamically for every tab selected  using this code:
     JScrollPane panel2 = new JScrollPane();
                panel2.setName(tabidis);

               chattable = new JTable();
               chattable.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(new Object [][] {},new String [] {"Messages"}));
               panel2.setViewportView(chattable);
               chattable.setShowGrid(false);

               jTabbedPane1.add(username4, panel2);

//I am using GUI environment in netbeans.

I think the hierarchy as follows:
JTabbedPanel1 >>  JscrollPAnel1 >> Jtable1
By using the following code:
((JTable)jTabbedPane1.getSelectedComponent().getComponentAt(1,1).getComponentAt(0,0)).getName();
I get the error that "javax.swing.table.JTableHeader cannot be cast to javax.swing.JTable"
That means that i am getting jTable Header as the component. But what i need is to get JTable as the component outcome so to get the model from it.
Or more simply "Is there anyway to get the model  of a JTable present in  the selected tab"

A: This seems to work:
@Test
public void test() {

    // original components
    JTable jTable = new JTable();
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(jTable);

    // add them to tab
    JTabbedPane jTabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
    jTabbedPane.addTab("tab1", scrollPane);
    jTabbedPane.setSelectedComponent(scrollPane);

    // get them out of selected tab
    JScrollPane scrollRef = (JScrollPane) jTabbedPane.getSelectedComponent();
    JTable tableRef = (JTable) scrollRef.getViewport().getComponents()[0];

    assertTrue(tableRef == jTable);
}


This report from the New Local Government Network think tank calls for the Government to step back from national road pricing approaches and instead allow local authorities greater power over local transport provision. The report argues that councils should lead approaches to reduce congestion and consider locality-based charging if merited by local circumstances.
The report argues that a series of radical measures are required to stop congestion on Britain's roads rising by a predicted 30 per cent by 2025. The current 380 million pounds fuel subsidy the Government gives to bus operators should be scrapped and redirected to local authorities to incentivise improved local bus routing and timetabling. The local transport regulatory powers should be removed from England's six unelected and appointed-for-life Traffic Commissioners and their powers devolved to elected local council leaders.
The report also calls for Council Leaders to be accountable to new Passenger Forums and given the power to influence local employer behaviour so that peak time congestion could be dramatically reduced.

Nicki Minaj Scared of Criticism? Disses Mariah Carey in Song (VIDEO)
By Brittney R. Villalva, Christian Post Reporter | Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Nicki Minaj recently admitted that she was scared of how her fans would perceive her after watching a clip of her on "American Idol" battling it out with Mariah Carey. Howeve,r that didn't stop the hip-hop artist from taking blatant jabs at the pop star within her song lyrics.
Nicki Minaj music video "Stupid H--" | Twitter: Nicki Minaj
"American Idol" has yet to debut its new season, but mass amounts of attention has already been brought to the new judges, particularly Minaj and Carey, who appear incapable of getting along. The two have had an ongoing feud since it was announced that they would be judges together.
Minaj even admitted that she was "scared" of how her fans would receive her on the show after a video short was released of her being "mean" to some of the contestants. The star admitted that she was sensitive when it came to the way people felt about her.
"I'm scared. Maybe I shouldn't have been so like ... It's hard for me to not say how I really feel ... Everyone else is so nice. I was just thinking back about some things and I was like, 'I wonder if that was not so nice.' I don't think I'm going to be able to watch [the premiere]. I'm going to be so nervous. But I know people are going to love it. I think it's a great dynamic," she said.
But Minaj has been less afraid of offending Mariah Carey. According to past reports, she has called her names like "boring" and "old." Her latest set of lyrics also appear to include a feud that occurred between the two stars.
"I'll take it, sign on the dotted line / But I'm quick to the check a b---- if she outta line, shout out Mike Darnell and Nigel / Why these bums so mad that the queen on Idol, huh?" one of lines reads, referencing Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer of Idol, and Mike Darnell, president of Alternative Entertainment for Fox.
On the other hand, in the past Minaj has admitted that she looked up to Carey and considered her "one of the best singers in the world."

At the start of a new calendar year, Tony Webber, Head of our Property Auction department provides a 'View from the Rostrum' and some predictions for the property auction market in 2012.
On behalf of the auction team here at Eddisons I extend a happy New Year to all our valued clients and hope that in 2012 the sale room will provide fertile ground for property investors, whether looking to buy or sell.
2011 finished on a positive note, with the December sale generating proceeds of just over £8.3m as 74% of the lots offered sold. Some examples of where and what investors were buying is covered later.
This brought the total proceeds in 2011 to £66,945,211 from the 16 auctions held in Leeds andManchester, which was a strong performance given the tough economic conditions which prevailed throughout the year. These strong results have helped to position the Eddisons Auction team as the 10th largest firm of Auctioneers in theUKand the largest firm outside ofLondonand the South-East in statistics released by the Essential Information Group.
Initial indications for 2012 are that results will be very much in line with last year as the economy struggles to recover and confidence remains fragile.
The key driver will once again be price, with buyers being attracted to properties which they perceive as offering good value for money. The continued uncertainties in the bond and equity markets, under performing pension funds and low interest rates on traditional savings mean we strongly believe that property will remain the investment vehicle of choice.
Buyers are also likely to be encouraged by the very slight but noticeable easing of some bank and building society lending restrictions which hounded investors during the whole of last year, leaving them to use their savings to finance any purchases.
Meanwhile, we will also be working closely with vendors to ensure that guide prices and expectations on any property which comes to the sale room are aligned to market conditions.
Our February catalogue contains a wide range of stock from vacant or tenanted residential and commercial properties, through to industrial and land, with guide prices to suit all budgets, which should get the year off to a good start.

LNO receives this publication weekly in the incoming email. The editor has even corresponded with the CJR concerning their far left opinions about anything that might smack of the truth, especially that repeated from the New York Times.
However, an article of "Why Left can't Stand the New York Times immediately caught my attention.
LNO Editorial Comment- the paragraph concerning NYT's coverage of President Trump is explained as…"scrutinizing Trump ad nauseam because it pays the bills, not because it is good or even honest news coverage.
"The Gray Lady is suddenly the object of constant scorn from the nation's highest office. Having spent eight years in the comfortable favor of Barack Obama, a position so secure that they faced zero consequences for such glaring moral and journalistic failings as the endorsement of the Iraq War, the "Failing New York Times" and its fellows now thrash in fury at their sudden irrelevance to these crude new political elites. The Times is unable to conceive of a world in which it was so very wrong, and unable to cope with a political administration that speaks of it with utter contempt. Not only has it lost the king's ear, it is finding itself entirely incapable of appealing to the peasants; the cynical and transparent hit pieces on Bernie Sanders betray the paper's general contempt for mass politics.
Were the American media machine accountable to the public, a more self-reflective, penitent assembly of institutions, or at least capable of shame, the Times might have spent a little effort reconsidering its "house style" ideology. And yet it stays the course. But why?
There are psychological factors at play: denial, certainly, which we see in the constant reassurance of the Times's #resistance readership that this was all a big mistake and that Daddy is coming to save them any day now. But as a good Marxist, I must point out that ideology and its attendant publishing philosophies are largely the product of market forces. Public broadcasting institutions like the BBC can remain dull and informative. FT's reportage serves a readership that gambles on world events. The New York Times compulsively analyzes and scrutinizes everything Trump ad nauseam because it pays the bills by cultivating an audience, flattering them, and keeping them stimulated. Just look at the "Trump Bump," the 66 percent increase in profits the paper enjoyed from exhausting every possible iteration of commentary, speculation, or tirade about The Donald.

Akören pour les Turcs, Avren () pour les Bulgares est un village du nord-ouest de la Turquie.

Géographie
Akören est situé en Thrace orientale, dans la partie européenne de la Turquie. La localité fait partie de la district de Silivri qui est incluse dans la province d'Istanbul.

Histoire
Les populations d'origine furent assimilées après la conquête de la région par les Turcs ottomans sur les Byzantins. Des Bulgares s'installèrent dans la région d'Akören, à la fin du , en provenance des régions de Nova Zagora, Kalofer, Yambol et d'autres endroits de Thrace du Nord.

Au , la localité faisait partie du vilayet d'Istanbul. Sa population était mixte : bulgare et turque. Une école bulgare existait dans le village en 1871 mais, le professeur bulgare est contraint de partir, quelques années plus tard, sous la pression de la communauté grecque.

À partir de 1909, les chrétiens orthodoxes de la localité sont sous la conduite de l'Exarchat bulgare. En 1910, le village compte 200 maisons, divisée en deux hameaux : un bulgare (110 maisons), un turc (90 maisons). Dans un rapport à l'exarchat, rédigé la même année, il est noté :
"Ils parlent un très bon bulgare. On note une influence forte de l'environnement turc et grec. Les Grecs les ont influencés notablement dans leurs pratiques ainsi que dans leur tenue vestimentaire. Chez les habitants d'Avrén, on ne peut pas trouver l'essence de l'hospitalité bulgare, il n'y a pas de simplicité d'âme, de la modestie et de l'amabilité". Un document statistique établi par le professeur Lubomir Milétitch, en 1912, note Avrén comme un village bulgare.

Lors du déclenchement de la Première Guerre balkanique, en 1912, deux hommes d'Avrén s'engagent comme volontaires dans l'Organisation révolutionnaire intérieure macédono-andrinopolitaine. Après la Seconde Guerre balkanique, en 1913, la population bulgare d'Avrén émigre dans le Royaume de Bulgarie. Elle s'installe à Aïtos, Bourgas, Varna, Kazanlak, Stara Zagora, Yambol, Karaptcha, Barganlii et Kéléshkioy. Une partie des nouveaux habitants de Avrén sont des Pomaks ayant émigré de Bulgarie.

Facebook – Growing Pains or Pains Growing?
I'm posting this New York Times article about Facebook because it takes more of an in-depth look at why the service exists.
I'm sure some would respond, "to allow people to communicate with each other", but is that really the answer?
For me, the most telling statistic is in the first paragraph; 100 million members as of August, 2008 and now the 200 millionth member is imminent. That's some exponential growth!
Yet, none of them pays a dime.

The banking sector in Cyprus is comprised of domestic banks, international banks with Cyprus based branches or subsidiaries and cooperative credit societies. Besides the traditional deposit and lending services, banks offer a diverse range of products such ashire purchase, finance facilities, investment services (asset management, investment advice and brokerage), factoring, electronic and telephone banking, private banking as well as insurance services.
Domestic and international banks are regulated, monitored and supervised by the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC). Following the agreement for an economic adjustment programme between Cyprus and Troika (International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank), the CBC, since September 2013, became the supervising body for the operations of cooperative credit institutions and the Cooperative Central Bank.
As a result of the Eurogroup decision on the 25th March 2013, the size of the banking sector suffered a shock and a violent shrinkage. The largest bank in Cyprus was put under a process of restructuring and recapitalization while the second largest bank went through a "bail in" of equity shareholders, creditors and unsecured depositors. This included a spilt of the second largest bank, into a "good" and a "bad" bank. Following the completion of the recapitalisation of the bank, the Central Bank of Cyprus, in its capacity as the Resolution Authority announced that, as of 30 July 2013, the largest bank has been recapitalized and is no longer under resolution.
The cooperative credit institutions have been also put under a restructuring plan using 1.5 billion of state aid as part of the Troika program. Cooperative credit institutions underwent a process of mergers, resulting in 18 cooperative institutions on March 2014 (from 93 institutions in 2013).
Following the country's EU-IMF financial bailout and the subsequent blow on depositors' confidence, the CBC announced a series of capital restrictions in order to prevent capital outflows and preserve the local banking sector. The initial emergency plan included a €300 daily limit on ATM withdrawals per individual, a ban on cheque cashing, and a limit on international wire transfers or payments over €5,000. All capital restrictions have been removed on April 2015.
On March 2016, the Cyprus government has officially exited the Memorandum of Understanding with Troika after a three-year period. During this time, Cyprus has received around €7.2 billion, out of the total €10 billion earmarked in the financial bailout, which means a lower public debt. However, under the new Euro area rules, evaluations will continue every six months until 75% of the economic assistance received is repaid. Concerning the banking and financial sector, a number of reforms have been completed, although the major problem remains the huge level of non-performing loans, amounting to around 50% of the total banks' loan portfolio, or more than 150% of the country's GDP.

Robert and Karl met during 2008 while working on a mining transaction. They quickly recognised that they had the ability to "think outside the box". Thereafter they met again when Karl acted as a business rescue practitioner and required Robert's expertise on a new case.
It was whilst sitting in Counsels' Chambers in Durban that Robert and Karl came to the realisation that the intention of the authors of Chapter 6 of the Act dealing with business rescue were not being dealt with. The intention of the Chapter is to assist the business to return to profitability. They realised that the concept of "rescue" must relate to saving the business, so as to protect the employees' jobs and assist creditors to recover the money owed to them. They both had come to the realisation that many of the major financial institutions did not appreciate business rescue, which they saw as stalling or interfering with the liquidation process of a troubled business. Moreover the terribly confined drafting of the Act has led to an enormous amount of expensive litigation, which generally does lead to the protection of the employees or their trade creditors.
Certain judgements given on business rescue made no sense, while the Act envisaged that business rescue should be about saving the company and for the greater economic good, as the best legal "convincer" won the day in swaying the judgement.
Robert and Karl decided to develop an empirical analysis methodology to see what the writers of the Act really intended. In other words what are my obligations and rights and what should I consider as conditions to do so? While we don't express any views on the judgements made in any of our books, we invite the reader to see how often judges choose to read a "may" as a "must" or the other way around. Hopefully these books will make the law more accessible to you, regardless of whether you have a passing interest in the law, are a director, a practitioner or a lawyer.
We will complete the collection of books for the Companies Act but have already received requests to write books on other legislation such as the Labour Relations Act and Environmental Law. For now we have to understand what the law really says about corporate actions.
Robert Appelbaum(56) BA LLB (Wits)
Robert is a very business-minded attorney specialising in Mergers and Acquisitions and Corporate Actions and has been doing so for 30 years. He is also the honouree business representative of I E Singapore.
Karl Gribnitz (49) B Com, B Com (Hons) (RAU), M Com (Unisa) FCIS
After completing his undergraduate studies in investment management, Karl wrote a master's thesis on the effect that the change in frequency in cash flow has on the calculation of the time value of money. Karl has been involved in various corporate actions since 1995, including takeovers, mergers listings and business rescue as a senior business rescue practitioner.

In modern days, USB flash drives are an increasingly popular tool of transferring and sharing files between devices. iTunes, on the other hand, is one of the best ways to manage your music since its functionality to organize music files according to artists and albums.
Users may find themselves with the latest tracks which they want to transfer from their USB flash drive to iTunes, but they are unable to do that since they don't know how to copy the music from USB to iTunes on their computer or mac. In this user guide, we will walk you through how to transfer music from USB to iTunes.
It is worth noting that iTunes does not support all types of music files. The formats iTunes supports include MP3, AAC, M4A, WAV, M4R, M4B, AIFF, and AIF.
In your USB therefore, there are two types of music: those that are iTunes compatible and those that are iTunes incompatible.
Connect the USB flash drive containing the music you want to transfer to the computer using the USB port.
In the pop-up window, click on the "Advanced" tab to access the "Advanced Preferences" menu. Check "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" in the "Advanced Preferences" menu if they aren't checked yet.
Once the options above have been enabled, you can now start the process of transferring your music from your USB flash drive to iTunes.
Click on the "File" tab in the top menu bar, then select "Add to library." You can add a whole collection of your music through opening a folder, or a single music file through adding a specific music file.
Now locate files you want to transfer to your iTunes. Navigate to that file or folder in your USB drive and then select that file or folder. Once you have selected the file, now click on "Open" and your music file will start to be transferred from USB to your iTunes.
There is however an alternative method of this step. The alternative method involves the following steps.
1.	Browse your computer so as to find your USB device.
2.	In the flash drive, select the file or the folder containing the music you want to transfer and then copy it.
3.	Navigate to your iTunes window and select Music in the upper left corner of the iTunes interface.Select "Edit" in the top menu bar and then click on "Paste." The music file you have copied from your USB drive will be transferred to your iTunes.
The process takes a very short time but it does depend on the number of music files or folders that you want to transfer to your iTunes. The larger the files, the longer it might take. Small files will take very little time to be copied to your iTunes.
STEP 1: Download Leawo iTransfer.
Begin by downloading and then installing the Leawo iTransfer software in your computer.
Connect the USB which you want to transfer your music from to your computer through the USB port.
In the left side of the Leawo iTransfer window, go to "Music" under "iTunes." You can access iTunes music from there.
Click on the "Add" button located at the top left corner of the right section of Leawo iTransfer's window. In order to add specific music files, click on "Add File." If you want to add an entire folder that contains multiple music files, click on the "Add Folder" option. You will find both of these buttons once you click on "Add".
Once you have selected either "Add File" or "Add Folder," navigate to your USB device and then select the music files or folder you want to transfer to iTunes.
Once you have completed the above step, your music will now start to be transferred from your USB to iTunes. As mentioned in the previous method, this step does not take long but it will depend on the number of music files and the size of the folder you want to copy from your USB to your iTunes.
After the transfer is finished, you can now enjoy your favorite tracks on iTunes.
Leawo iTransfer is extremely helpful in transferring music from USB to iTunes. It is easy to use and has just a few tabs in the main window which can be easily followed while transferring music from USB to iTunes. The user interface is simple to learn and the application runs well.

Scripture often tells us that "Jesus went off to be alone." And God gave us a Sabbath for a reason. So I think that's where your still small voice comes from. I'm glad you listened,and glad to hear that you're almost ready to pick up and get going again. Start gradually and keep listening. Love you!
I love your wonderful insight and wisdom. Thank you. I will take it to heart, you can count on that. Love you too!
I understand completely!!! Sometimes you just need time to recharge and relax.
Thank you for sharing Mary. I am at the opposite end. I AM enjoying my life because God told me a few years back to write a devotional book. Well due to life, health issues, disobedience, etc I did not. Now that I am "actively pursuing" writing, it has brought me much enJOY to my life. To God be the glory! I forgot how much joy writing brings me! You are and have often been a personal inspiration to me. Thank you Mary!
He touches each of our lives according to His intimate understanding and love of each of us. His guidance is so special. Thanks for your kind words. I pray for our Lord's richest blessing on your writing. I know how special it is both to you and the many people who will read it!

ALPINE, TX-- Deputies of the Brewster County Sheriff's Office apprehended five individuals who were traveling with over 280 pounds of marijuana on Monday.
The deputies were called out to a private property where five individuals were trespassing. After the deputies searched the property, they found five men who were dressed in all camo with bags on them.
After a search of the bags they found 286 pounds of marijuana and discovered that the men were Mexican citizens here illegally.
According to CBS 7, the suspects will reportedly face felony state charges before they are turned over to immigration officials for prosecution and deportation.
As many times as I've heard someone say that the southwest border isn't the main line for drug trafficking into America, I would expect to see less of this kind of thing.
"MIAMI — The Coast Guard, Homeland Security Investigations and Customs and Border Protection interdicted a sport fisher boat with a suspected smuggler, two migrants, a U.S.-Bahamas dual citizen and 7 kilograms of cocaine Monday approximately eight miles east of Dania Beach." Coast Guard News. Jan 8 2019.
"FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — An estimated $500 million dollars worth of cocaine will never make it to the streets of South Florida — or anywhere else. It was confiscated at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The crew of the Coast Guard cutter James was offloading the approximately 18.5 tons of cocaine on Thursday afternoon at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, according to the Coast Guard." CBS News Nov. 8 2018.
It goes on and on. They (trump and *LIVE!) are trying to sell us beach front property in Big Bend. Whats worst, they are stopping the drugs from coming in on the MAIN routes, all while not being paid. Thanks GOP!
I'm absolutely sure there are no illegal immigrants coming in through Florida. Also, estimates state that up to 90% of the illegal drugs that enter the United States come through the Mexico border. The Democrats are not serious about stopping, or even acknowledging, there is a problem. They are only interested in increasing their voter rolls, meanwhile they get purposely uninformed voters to repeat lies about racism as innocent Americans and Mexicans, and others, suffer the ultimate price for their desire to scuttle Trump's attempt to protect our country.
I'm one to look at what's going on in my city first... my hometown may not suffer from the same problems that others do, I tend to branch outward from there based on the locale, severity, and relevance of the issue.


Our group, the Southwest Washington State Branch of the worldwide Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (and formerly known as Vancouver USA Scottish Country Dancers), covers the southwest corner of Washington. We schedule regular classes around the county. Our group occasionally performs demonstration dances. We also sponsor three annual dance parties with live music. During the Summer we may get together periodically for social dancing as arranged within the group. Call 360-887-1888 for information.
Our group devised the Washington State Tartan in 1988, in time to commemorate the Washington State Centennial celebrations in 1989. (During these celebrations we danced at the state capitol.) The Tartan Bill recognizing the new tartan was signed into law in 1991, making the Washington State Tartan the first official state tartan west of the Mississippi. The tartan is also registered with the Scottish Tartan Society.
In addition, we have assembled several books of original Scottish Country Dances. These books are described on our "Books and Items of Interest" page.

From left: Ballerina model Lia Kemendi, tenor Andrea Bocelli, and Jamaica-born dancer and choreographer Kris Jobson.
Jamaica-born dancer and choreographer Kris Jobson, has added to his growing list of accomplishments when he was commissioned as the choreographer of the German tour for Andrea Bocelli in concert, performing with renowned ballerina and model Lia Kemendi.
Jobson, who currently calls Berlin home, showcased his talents while living in Kingston, Jamaica, as a member of Ashe Performing Arts Company, and began touring with the group when he was just 14 years old.
After graduating from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Jobson further honed his talents at Dance of Harlem, Alvin Ailey, and The Joffrey Ballet schools.
Since then, he has lived and worked in major cities across the world including New York, Los Angeles, Milan, Rome, Berlin, Cologne, Paris, and Zurich, just to name a few.
Jobson told The Gleaner that he is excited to be working with the famous Italian tenor, who returns to Germany more than two decades after releasing his unforgettable hit Time to say Goodbye. He described landing this opportunity as one of those "meant-to-be moments" as he was recommended based on his talent as both a dancer and choreographer.
He noted that Signore Bocelli is quite an impressive performer, with a voice that can open a thousand hearts with just one note. "That is truly the impact he has on me while performing with him on stage. Unexpected nuances and subtle shifts in delivery occur in every concert as no two shows are the same," Jobson told The Gleaner.
"His commanding yet graceful voice dictates every movement and gesture of my choreography, as I try to let his vocal expression be the guiding force of the physical world I create with my movements. In this marriage between voice and dance lies the magic that is expected of a Bocelli experience, and I am not only honoured to have helped create that experience, but to also be actually dancing, interpreting, and embodying that magic on stage right next to him."
Bocelli has recorded 15 solo studio albums of both pop and classical music; three greatest hits albums; and nine complete operas, selling over 80 million records worldwide.
Despite the tenor's global success, Jobson told The Gleaner that choreographing for an amazing artiste like Bocelli, was sheer delight having been given creative latitude. "I must reveal that I was given carte blanche to create for the concert. Having lived in Italy for many years, it was understood that I had a close affinity and understanding of Italian culture, and had followed Andrea Bocelli's career throughout the years. I speak fluent Italian, and so I was able to communicate with his team (director, sound technicians, conductor) and family in a close and intimate way to ensure that we were on the same page so to speak. The choreographic worlds that I created were in homage to the timeless songs and voice of Bocelli, as well as the plethora of emotions and feelings that his performances invoke in all of us," stated Jobson.
Following the premiere event with Bocelli, in April, Jobson and his partner have performed in Hamburg and Cologne, and will be visiting Berlin next month and Stuttgart and Hannover in January 2019.
This multi-talented artist has had the fortune of being involved in a variety of creative industries including fashion, theatre, television, music, and recently added to the list that of choreographer, creative director, casting director and coordinator of multiple fashion shows during Berlin, Milan and Shanghai Fashion Week. Jobson told The Gleaner that having worked as a model for many years combined with decades of dance, theatre and performance experience, he is often called upon to share his expertise with the fashion world.
So what's next for Kris Jobson? "I am currently in the midst of writing a Format TV Show where fashion meets dance, and also writing a scripted TV series as well as my first feature film. Creativity abounds in this moment and when the inspirations come, I am obliged to document them and put them in motion. I continue to create events and shows of all kinds and enjoy collaborating with like-minded individuals who have something positive and empowering to share with the world. Art and performing are wonderful instruments that can eagerly share the magic of the human spirit and help shape our world. This is a passion for me and I am committed to this path," Jobson remarked.

Top 8 Interesting Facts about the Villa Farnesina in Rome
This suburban mansion from the early 16th century might not be the most famous building in Rome, but it still houses some of the greatest frescoes in the city.
This villa is an amazing Renaissance building that was commissioned by one of the richest people of the Renaissance. He didn't hold back on spending money to decorate it, that's for sure.
Let's take a closer look at some of the most interesting facts about the Villa Farnesina in Rome, one of the city's most remarkable treasures.
1. It's located in the Trastevere District in central Rome
2. It was commissioned by the treasurer of Pope Julius II
3. It was a revolutionary Renaissance building due to its remarkable design
4. The Villa Farnesina is decorated with a large number of frescoes
5. One of the most stunning frescoes is an amazing example of trompe-l'œil
6. Raphael completed two amazing frescoes at the ground level of the villa
7. Michelangelo proposed an additional structure for the villa that was never completed
8. The villa is owned by the Italian state and is a museum open to visitors
The Villa Farnesina is a stunning Renaissance mansion that is located in the Trastevere District of Rome. The word "Trastevere" was derived from the Latin "Trans Tiberim."
This means that it's located on the opposite bank of the Tiber River than the historical heart of the ancient city of Rome.
This district is bounded by the Tiber and the Janiculum, the second-tallest hill in modern-day Rome. This is, however, not one of the Seven Hills of Rome as this was merely a rural area in ancient times.
The villa is separated from the Tiber by a road called the Lungotevere Farnsesina. The Palazzo Corsini, an amazing Baroque building that houses a collection of 16th and 17th-century art, borders it to the west.

The building was commissioned by Agostino Chigi, a rich banker from Siena who had lived in Rome since 1487. He occupied several important positions which allowed him to amass great wealth.
When he became the secretary and treasurer of the Papal States for helping Giuliano della Rovere become Pope Julius II (1443-1513), his wealth grew to epic proportions.
The building was commissioned to serve as the suburban villa of the rich banker and was constructed between 1506 and 1510.
Agostino Chigi / Zello / Wiki Commons
This remarkable structure had a design that was in sheer contrast to the Renaissance palaces that had been erected in Rome at the time.
It was designed by Baldassare Peruzzi (1581-1536), a relatively young architect at the time who was a pupil of Donato Bramante (1444-1514), the original architect of St. Peter's Basilica.
He was also involved in the construction of St. Peter's Basilica, even after Bramante passed away. He likely worked together with Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (1484-1546) on both projects.
The most remarkable difference between the Renaissance palaces and this suburban villa was its U-shaped design.
The loggia on the northern part of the structure was left open and served as the main entrance of the building.
The open loggia of the villa / Jean-Pierre Dalbéra / Wiki Commons
Agostino Chigi didn't stop with merely constructing the villa, he also spent vast amounts of money on decorating it.
Raphael, Sebastiano del Piombo, Giulio Romano, and Il Sodoma are the artist that earned a commission to paint frescoes inside the building shortly after it was completed.
The common theme of these frescoes was derived from scenes from a renaissance poem called "Stanze per la Giostra, written by the Italian poet Poliziano (1454-1494).
This poem was in turn derived from other works such as Ovid's Metamorphoses, which means many figures are mythological creatures.
One of the villa's many stunning rooms / Prilfish / Wiki Commons
Baldassare Peruzzi wasn't solely the architect of the building, he also designed it. He painted one of the most amazing frescoes inside the building on the first-floor level.
The main room features trompe-l'œil frescoes that depict an open-air loggia and distant landscape.
The illusionary effect provides an extra dimension to this magnificent room. When you stand in a certain location, the landscape appears to be incredibly accurate.
Other frescoes on this level were completed by Il Sodoma and depict scenes from the life of Alexander the Great. This includes Alexander's wedding to Roxana and Alexander receiving the family of Darius.

Although most frescoes at the Villa Farnesina are amazing works of art, nothing compares to the ones completed by one of the greatest Renaissance masters in history.
The paintings by Raphael are located in the loggia and on the ground floor. The one in the loggia is titled "The Wedding Banquet of Cupid and Psyche" and was completed in 1517.

The fresco located in the main room on the ground floor is titled "The Triumph of Galatea" and depicts the water nymph Galatea during his apotheosis.
There were rumors that the beautiful woman in this fresco was modeled on a courtesan named Imperia Cognati, the lover of Agostino Chigi, but Raphael refuted this notion.

One of the most interesting facts about the Villa Farnesina is that it was originally referred to as the Villa Chigi in reference to the man who commissioned it.
The villa was acquired by the powerful Farnese family in 1577 who renamed it that year. They also owned the Palazzo Farnese which is situated don't the other side of the Tiber in the heart of the city.
If it was up to Michelangelo, both buildings would have been connected by a walking bridge. He proposed to build this structure in the 16th century.
The Renaissance sculptor was the architect of the palazzo at the time and although preparatory plans were made, the bridge was never constructed. Some arches at the back of the palace are the only remnants of Michelangelo's ambiguous plan.

The villa changed hands several times more. It became the property of the House of Bourbon who ruled in Naples and of the Spanish Ambassador in Rome in 1861.
Today, the villa is owned by the Italian state and is operated as a museum. Guided tours are available as well.
This means that you can admire the remarkable Renaissance architecture and copious amounts of amazing frescoes at the Villa Farnesina during your stay in Rome.

Hello, I started downloading Unreal Engine yesterday and with no problem it completed up to 69% of the download. As soon as it hit 70% the download speed remains the same but it won't really download anything. The download size keeps changing. At one point it would say 711mb then 710 and then within a second back to 711 mb. I tried restarting the launcher as well as my PC, it resumes the download from 69% which works fine until its 70%, the progress goes nowhere after that.
As of the time I am writing this down, the download left fluctuates between 682-683mb and sometimes 684mb.
Unreal engine 4.21.1 won't download.
